An Excerpt: The recent revival of smocking or honey-combing has resulted in a number of pretty arrangements of this decorative work and also in the adaptation of numerous fancy stitches, which increase its ornamental effect and give much variety in the way of design. Of the two methods of making the smocking or honey-combing--the American and the English--the former is rather the simpler, but the result is exactly the same in each instance, and in both the elasticity of the work is equal. The two methods are clearly described in this article, and the illustrations are very plain; either method may be followed according to taste, and both are here adopted for the diamond pattern, which is the easiest and most popular, and to which great variety may be given by fancy stitches. The honey-combing is very effectively displayed in yokes and in the upper part of tennis and other blouses, in tea-gowns, ladies;, misses; and children s dresses, and in matinees, breakfast jackets, school gowns, etc.; it may also take the shape of a Swiss girdle, a straight or curved belt or a corselet.
